I. A Father's Wise Counsel (vv.l
I. What It Is (v. 110). "Be not
among winebilmers; iimong riotous
eaters of llesh." This means persons
who meet together for the express pur
pose of drinking Intoxicating liquors
und eating purely for the gratification
of their appetite". Wine bibbing ami
gluttony usually go together.
II. Itenson given (v. 21). "Tho
drunkard ami the glutton shall cnuio
to poverty." Intemperance in drink
ing mid eating leads to ruin. Poverty
Inevitnblv follows In their wuke.
II. Woes of Those. Who Indulge In
Wine (vv. 110. Ml).
The miseries attached to the drunk
ard's life:
I. The nwful pain which causes ono
to cry out "Oh 1" Many, Indeed, me
the pains which men suffer because of
strong drink.
II. Sorrow the remorse which
causes- ono to cry out "Alas!" Many
nre the expressions' of bitter regret
which dally copie from tlie lips of tho
ilriinknrd. Sometimes It is the sor
row of poverty of himself nnd family
clothed in rags ami half starved;
sometimes It Is the sorrow of follow
ing u broken-hearted wife to tho
grave and seeing his children scat
tered among strangers.
," ,i. Contention strife nnd quarreling.
Much of the lighting among men Is
directly caused by their passions be
ing Intlamed by strong drink. The
drunken man is always ready to take
offense, ns well ns to give It.
1. Babblings ami complainings. The
winchlhhcr complains of everything;
ill luck, broken fortune, ruined health,
lev? of friends, of fate and of God.
r. Wounds without' n cnuse. These
nre wounds which might have been
tivoldod from lightings in whU.ii a
sober man would not hnvo engaged,
nnd from ncchlents which are purely
the result of Intoxication.
(!. Itetlness of e.ves. This has ref
erence to the bloodshot eye of the t Ii
pier which renders dim his vision.
All these vvoe come upon those who
tarry long at wine (v. HO). Those vvhr
frequent the places of drinking soon
nre tarrying long at wine.
III. The Attitude Enjoined (v. !U).
Look not at It. Do not put yourself
In tlie way of temptation. The only
safe attitude toward strong drink Is
total abstinence, nnd the only .sun
way of total abstinence Is not to even
look at It.
IV. Th Drunkard's Bitter End (vv.
:t2-:tri).
1. The acute miseries resulting (v.
32). "It hlteth like a serpent, nml
stlngeth like nn adder." Strong drink,
like the poison of the serpent, per
meate the whole system and ends In
the most fatal consequences the bit
terest sufferings and death.
2. The perversion of the moral senso
(v. .Tl). (1) Tills excitement causes
the eyes to behold strange things. Thin
denotes the fantastic images produced
on the brain of the drunkard. Slnco
unbridled lust always goes vvlth win
drinking, no doubt It Is true ns tlio
Authorized Version has It, "Tlilnu
eyes shall behold strange women."
Drunken men do desire nnd rave after
unchaste women. (2) "Tlilnn heart
shall utter perverse things. His moral
sense being iMrverted, his utterances
partnke of the same. He tells lies
Ills words ennnot be relied upon. Any
one who has bad dealings with a
drunkard knows that his statements
cannot be relied upon.
51. Ho Is Insensible to danger (v. 31).
